I've just configured my first emc project, a 9x20 lathe conversion. I'm using a large servo for the spindle - I'm hoping to be able to use it as a 4th axis for some light engraving down the track.
My problem - I've set up the servo for the spindle, but like a servo, it responds imediately to change requests. I haven't put a chuck on it yet, but it I'm sure it will break the belt when it tries to stop from 1000rpm to 0, instantly. Any ideas on how I can soft start and stop it? At the moment, my configuration is to take the motion.spindle-speed-out, into pid.command, and let it work itself out. I'm thinking if I reduce the Pgain that might do it, but then it would make it mushy under load. Any ideas? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
